I couldn't even do silver in MoP, the ilvl scaling meant I went from
zero problems with mana to just plain zero mana. Absolutely impossible
to get past bronze as a healer, I hope the scaling has been improved
this time out.

Well if you've got a guild to raid with, you don't need it anyway,
you've got a whole guild full of people to group with and you'll be
outgearing heroics in no time :-) It's people like me who really need
